About us
We met in 2012 while living in Tempe, Arizona when Kelli started working with Cory at Dutch Bros Coffee. From there, we became best friends, bonding over our love for people, working out, and for making each other laugh. Exactly one year from the day we met, we began dating and quickly knew our relationship was meant for more. Cory bought an engagement ring after 6 months and carried it around with him everywhere waiting for the right opportunity.
During a vacation to Sedona, Arizona, our relationship evolved into an engagement! We both love being outdoors and have always preferred intimate settings, so in 2015, exactly 3 years from the day that we met, and started dating, we decided to hike back up to a secluded trail in Sedona with a handful of our best friends and tied the knot there. Afterwards, we had a more traditional ceremony with our extended family and friends but love having had that intimate moment to truly celebrate our love together.
We both still work for the company that gave us the opportunity to find each other, and that has led us from owning a franchise in Nevada for 6 years to giving us the opportunity to move to Texas as we helped our brand expand further east. While it’s been just over three years, Texas is our forever home and we love everything about raising our family here together. We are both proud of our careers but are more thankful for the flexibility they give to make space for our family and the things that are important to us.

Cowen is the sweetest boy you will ever meet. He loves tee ball and is obsessed with volcanoes and lava. His favorite animal is an octopus, but it's got to be purple! He has a shy side around new people but is a social butterfly and a natural leader.

On Kelli's side, we get to fly to Seattle any time we can get away for a visit. She has one sister, and 6 step siblings. The puppy love definitely comes from this side, with a combined 5 golden retrievers! We spend every Christmas here, but enjoy going in the warmer months too to spend time at the beach on The Puget Sound. And now that all of the grandparents are retired, we are also always hosting family in Texas! We are blessed with a close knit community locally, and love having the opportunity to visit our extended family in fun parts of the country.

about our home
Our home is located inside of a quiet cut-de-sac and surrounded by a beautiful suburb in DFW that's known for its safety and small town appeal, despite its larger size. We have a playroom downstairs dedicated to all things fun, and the whole upstairs is ready for kids to play! The whole home is set for kids of all ages, and we love having our movie room upstairs to watch all of our favorites at night! In the summer, we spend the majority of our time in the backyard swimming pool. We have a shallow area that's perfect for supervised play while keeping everyone cool. We also keep the pizza oven hot and ready for an impromptu pizza night after we swim!
Outside of our home, we have a path at the end of our street that we use for family walks and are less than a five minute drive to our downtown that hosts annual events like the Christmas Tree lighting, 4th of July parades, and other family activities. We love being within walking distance to our friends, having access to great restaurants, and in a community with so many opportunities for youth sports and activities.
